PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Il Granaio is an original olive press which has been carefully restored to create a home filled with original features. There are four bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, for up to 8 guests and reception rooms include a large and comfortable lounge and a spacious Tuscan kitchen. The gardens are surrounded by terraced olive groves with panoramic views of the valley across the swimming pool to the medieval towers of Lucca. Olives have been collected from the terraced hillsides that surround Il Granaio for centuries. Dating back to the 16th century as the private press for the family who resided in the villa during the summer months, the olive press was fully functional until the late nineties collecting olives from the villagers and pressing some of the best olive oil that Lucca has to offer.
